Join longtime creative collaborators Roz Chast and Patricia Marx for a conversation about their hilarious new books, on the related subjects of sleeping, not sleeping nearly enough, and dreaming. Chast’s latest graphic memoir (after the No. 1 best seller Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?) is I Must Be Dreaming, which explores the surreal world of her unconscious, with its vegetable nightmares, strange babies and dentists, and “Willard of Oz.” Marx, a humorist and longtime New Yorker staff writer, in her latest children’s book with Chast tells the story of an imaginative girl who is determined never to sleep again in the “wonderfully quirky, subversively sweet” Tired Town.
